ABRIDGING THE COURSE OF STUDY.
Several Important Changes in High-Sch
Instruction Recommended.

When the School Board was called to order at
$50 o'clock last night barely quorum pres
ent Superintendent Jones asked that the chill
dren be allowed the privilege of bringing flowers
to the ol-housts the morning of Decora-
ton Day, and also asked for instructions regard
ing the closing of the schools on that day. The
board granted the right to distribute flowers at
the buildings, and Mr.. Jones was instructed to
use his own judgment about the dismissal of the
schools. The finance committee recommended
that the president and secretary issue a note to
H. W. Miller for SIG, 900, payable June L. 1887.
The report was adopted and the note ordered
drawn.
The text book committee after having held a
conference with the High school committee with
submitted the following recommendations
THAT the following elective subjects be stricken
from the High school course of study: French;
solid geometry, trigonometry astronomy,
psychology, political economy advanced botany
and advanced chemistry. Second, that physical
geography be removed from the first year to the
third year and be made elective and civil gov
eminent be removed the first year and be
made prescribed; third, that Latin be made elect
i've in the first three years, instead of the last
three; fourth, that drawing be limited to half
day." The report was discussed at length. Mr..
Frenze urged that Greek should be stricken
out but Superintendent Jones favored its
naming. Mr.. Jones urged that day be-
given to drawing, and the change was made.
The report was then adopted.
Mr. Baker moved to reconsider the resolution
passed at the previous meeting providing for the
building OF an addition to school No. 20, and
that the matter be referred to the committee on
buildings for further consideration. The motion
drew out a great deal of talk with reference to
the necessity for additional buildings and the
condition of the finances. Superintendent Jones
said there must be relief for the children in the
southeastern part of the city. He thought it
would be advisable to erect a four-room
building between the lower end of Vir-
gna and Fletcher avenues Presi-
dent Conner stated that Nos 81 and Ia
were also needing additions, and in all there
demand for four new buildings. .The
fact is" said he ''the board will have to face
this necessity for relief What we are to do is
difficult to determine We haven't the money
nor the authority to get it. If we have to wait
until the Legislature meets many hundreds of
children will have to be refused admission to the
schools" The motion to reconsider the building
of the addition was finally passed. and the build
ing committee instructed to select site more
accessible to the children of the district

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Before the Interstate Commission.


WASHINGTON, May 20.-At the instance Of the
attorney for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
Company the Interstate-commerce Commission
enlarged the suspensory order in the case Of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads so
as to include the Denver & Rio Grande company
in its operation.
e. G. Stubbs. general traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, the
first witness of the day, and examined by
Mr.. Tweed, counsel for the railroad in support
of the application to have the temporary order
suspending the operation of Section of the law
made permanent. Having referred to the traffic
the Central Pacific railroad Chairman
Cooley inquired how it happened that the wit
ness had anything to do with the Central Pacific.
He replied that the Central Pacific was leased
line, operated as far as Ogden by the Southern
Pacific. The witness said that, beginning in
February, 1856. there had been virulent, bitter
of rates between the Pacific lines, lasting up
to the date of passage of the law. When the law
was passed the Southern Pacific had readjusted
its rates, diminishing them in many cases. but
increasing them in no instance. The competition
to be met by the Pacific railroads OF three
kinds-sailing vessels around Cape Horn. the
Pacific mail steamers via Panama, and a new
factor, the Canadian Pacific, which cor nected
with San Francisco by means of the Pacific
steamship lines. To bring all of its traffic
down to the level of competing rates
of the railroad company-that
evident: as an average of cent per mile would
probably meet the expense of freight transporta-
ton between San Francisco and the Missouri
river. 1t paid to carry sugar eastward At this
rate, as it saved the necessity of hauling empty
cars from the West to the East. This rate
much lower than that made by the Canadian
Pacific. The immediate effect of the application
of the law had been cessation of business by all
routes except the Canadian Pacific, the Pacific
Mail and the clipper ships but the real injury
inflicted by the act had scarcely had time to de-
velop. II it were enforced the effect would be to
cause the roads to lose more by the reduction of
intermediate traffic than the gross earnings
amounted to through traffic.
The chairman questioned the witness at some
length to learn his reasons for fearing Canadian
Pacific competition. He had acknowledged that
its line very much longer than the trans
continental lines in the United States How
could it make profit He wished to see il the
witness reasoning did the persons
who supported the long and short haul clause.
Mr.. Stubs did not know how much of the rates
the Pacific steamship lines received, or how
much was left for the Canadian Pacific. 1t was
a matter of public knowledge that the Canadian
Pacific did not have business enough to make a
train-load daily.
The remainder of the session was devoted to
hearing argument, no important decisions being
made
